Flitzbe are a mysterious "true alien" species encountered by the Pelted. Flitzbe are round and covered in neural fiber fur that changes color to express mood and emotions. Flitzbe can also communicate through mental images and impressions transferred via touch.
Flitzbe can come in sizes ranging from hand-sized to beach-ball-sized. Their fur is very soft and has a slight grip. A group of Flitzbe (called a clod) will hook together to communicate, and will also try to communicate with other species with mixed results. Some people are better at it than others, but in general they receive images pulled from their own memories and strung together. It is reportedly easier to communicate with one at a time than with an entire clod, which Alysha Forrest describes as "trying to follow a conversation in a noisy room." They either have no language concept or it's incomprehensible to other species thus far.[1]
Flitzbe do not have mouths, arms, legs, or eyes. Flitzbe eat by absorbing sunlight[1], and reproduce by budding.
In Fleet, Flitzbe are sometimes used in medplexes[2], where they provide emotional comfort and soothing dreams. On the UAV Songlance, the resident Fliztbe clod stayed in the same room as the liaison to aliens, which also contained their sun lamp.[3]
